VPN
Virtual Private Networks (VPN) provide a way for information to travel through a “tunnel” from one computer to another computer using an overlay of other networks. This allows users to take advantage of the existing infrastructure to create a reliable secure communication without the addition of user authentication or data encryption. This setup is useful for businesses to backup data from one location to another location.Data sent across the public Internet is generally not protected from prying eyes, but you can make your Internet communications secure and extend your private network with a virtual private network (VPN) connection. VPN uses a technique known as tunneling to transfer data securely on the Internet to a remote access server on your workplace network. Using a VPN helps you save money by using the public Internet instead of making long–distance phone calls to connect securely with your private network.
The connection over the Internet is encrypted and secure. New authentication and encryption protocols are enforced by the remote access server. Sensitive data is hidden from the public, but it is securely accessible to appropriate users through a VPN.
